Just like to say a BIG thank you to all of you for turning up to make the

RAID ACROSS THE BORDER 2 a success with 31 cars today

including the East meets West at keilder where Mal and martin led their own scooby convoy

an incident free day although the bird of prey was close to gussy and me at 100 MPH !!

as usual stephen and abbey kept us amused with their <antics> and enjoyed playing catch up !!

I think we only saw 7 cars on the middle stretch as god kept his promise with closing most of the roads for us


CW 42 ;Blitz boy ,Missy c and supertouring hungover from last nights pub session with me helped lay the wet leaves ;potholes ,remove all speed cameras and whitelines and spray water over parts of the Raid this morning .

We also let out a few pheasants and sheep to give an interesting Raid !!

The meal was excellent value and next year we might include the scooby swim and sauna at the hotel when we invite the pirrelli and max power girls to join us :D:D:D
look forward to seeing you all again at the

RAID ACROSS THE BORDER 3 ########################

Cheers John


Who gave abby that STi 8 ppp then .. Looked good going side ways ;) and please do not stop in the middle of the road around a blind corner . Ian nearly got a 2 seater back :D

Great day out

Stephen :D

no texts today as we set a slower pace (new tyres to bed in hahaha)
no doubt craft will post when their home but we had a great day and some friendly lads in the convoy.food was good and next time its a pool party for sure.we only did 450 miles today and averaged 20mpg, sad i know.oh and hope the lady in the blue scoob has calmed down with her driver, i mean he didnt lie we only did a gentle drive in the country.

regards mdm

Glad to read everyone had a good day :D

Can someone mail me the pictures so I can host them on the www.CumbrianScoobs.co.uk website :)

Super run out John.

Glad I could help with the East meets West VISION

Big thanks to Mal for leading the TTS crew.

Unfortunately, I did have a bit of an incident with a pheasant on the journey home. Will asses damage tomorrow. (To the car not the pheasant). I know what happened to the bird, some of it is still splattered across the headlights.

Great day

Martin

Top Day! Well done organisers, when`s the next one? :D

Bad luck with the pheasant Martin, i`d have gone back and stamped all over the fecker just to make sure it was dead! :D Look on the bright side though, at least your car moves, mine don`t! :D:(:D:( Hope it aint too bad

Steve Em, you shouldn`t drive so fast then :p i was only out for a sedate drive in the country :D

And a big thank-you to Ian Armstrong at Stan Palmers, Carlisle, for the use of the STi8 PPP

Some of the roads we did on saturday, on the way up to Brampton were spectacular as well, and require further investigation I think!

Not long back home as M6 was at a standstill at a few places for roadworks :( ... but plently of loud music, munchies and time to contemplate the 552 miles of fast/sweeping/windey/ and seriously scenic roads covered over the last 2 days :D LOL we were airborne more than once along the way :eek:

Came off at J19 via Macc and across the deserted Cat and Fiddle :cool: to round the treck off.
